Are you guys ordering from HK? The shipping seems a bit much. I am hoping the distribution in the USA may help with lowering shipping.

I ordered from bestvaluerc.com. If you wait to order from the US, I think you'll still end up paying about the same price (cheaper shipping, but more expensive airframe). I've ordered similar 48" full fuse EPP planes from 3 countries now (US, China, and Canada) and they all come out to about the same price, plus or minus a few bucks (<$20). BTW, the orders from China were the cheapest overall by a few bucks, even with the higher shipping costs. This order was in line with the others.

I just ordered the RC Factory Sbach 48". Then I came across this...stiff competition I'd say!

Well, after the ease of repairing my Skywing wing at one stage, I have to say the benefits of foam, in a beautiful full fuze design like this, must mean that this will be on my 'christmas list' for sure.

Rick,

I've only had 2 flights on my plane and both were in gusty wind, but I can already see that this is a really great plane; good enough for me to order another kit already. I love feral planes and this plane is feral with a capital F

In a few hours' time, Vimeo will reset my weekly HD upload quota and then I'll be able to upload an HD video from the 2nd flight of this plane last weekend. This video features more aggressive flying overall and I feel that it shows the flight characteristics that convinced me to order another kit .
